Question 48

Values of the ionic product of water (KwK_wKw​) at different temperatures are given:

  • Kw=4.00×10−14 mol2 dm−6K_w = 4.00 \times 10^{-14} \text{ mol}^2 \text{ dm}^{-6}Kw​=4.00×10−14 mol2 dm−6 at 45∘C45 ^\circ\text{C}45∘C
  • Kw=9.00×10−14 mol2 dm−6K_w = 9.00 \times 10^{-14} \text{ mol}^2 \text{ dm}^{-6}Kw​=9.00×10−14 mol2 dm−6 at 60∘C60 ^\circ\text{C}60∘C

Which statement is correct?

The pH of pure water at 60∘C60 ^\circ\text{C}60∘C is 6.526.526.52.

The enthalpy change for the self-ionisation of water is negative.

The concentration of hydrogen ions in pure water at 45∘C45 ^\circ\text{C}45∘C is 4.00×10−7 mol dm−34.00 \times 10^{-7} \text{ mol dm}^{-3}4.00×10−7 mol dm−3.

Pure water is more acidic at 60∘C60 ^\circ\text{C}60∘C than at 45∘C45 ^\circ\text{C}45∘C.
